Thanks, Steve! Been tweaking my imaging setup since I started this thread. It’s been a challenge to overcome the ultrawide lens on the phone. Everyone has been putting some really good information out there.
Going to try and apply a few suggestions from this thread and post some updated images. 
you have some great pix already… small stones harder… mineral specimens are first class… wish you luck, tweak somemore and see where you get… keep on posting… thanks for the response… I do like your pix a lot more than the usual out of focus, low resolutions one that a lot of amateurs post…keep up the good work… thanks

Thank you, sir! Appreciate the feedback. I’m still not satisfied with my efforts, though. Guess this means I have entered the perpetual perfectionism phase of gemstone photography… 
Cheers!
